Course unit content

 The course covers the following subjects: <br />
Oxidation processes: how to use oxygen; hydrogen peroxide and others simple oxidants; role of the metals; homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis of the oxidation processes of organic substrates; how to protect products and materials from the harmful effect of oxygen; catalyst design. <br />
Hydrogenation processes: use of hydrogen and hydride transfer in homogeneous catalysis; asymmetric catalysis; use of hydrogen in heterogeneous catalysis. <br />
Halogenation processes: chlorination, oxychlorination and fluorination. <br />
Oxidation-reduction processes (electrochemical): new technology in electrochemical processes in organic solvents with particular regard to the duplication of acrylonitrile; techniques of oxidation and reduction with chemical reagents that revert to the initial oxidation state electrochemically. <br />
Carbonylation processes: metal carbonyls; catalysis of the introduction of carbon monoxide into organic substrates to form aldehydes, ketons, acids and esters. <br />
Carboxylation processes: direct introduction of carbon dioxide into organic molecules. <br />
Formation of C-C bond processes: catalysis of cyanation, dimerization, oligomerization and metathesis of unsaturated substrates.
